QSOS-028Charlotte Warr AndersonOral History
Type:Oral History
Description:Charlotte Warr Anderson began quilting in 1974, and taught herself from books. She considers herself to be an artist and views fabric as her medium of choice. Anderson does not think of herself as a “purist” when it comes to fabric selection, and works with whatever fabric she needs to produce the right look. She gets most of her inspiration from photographs including the quilt she brought with her, “Do Not Go Gentle.” This quilt was inspired by a photograph of her late father, and was an emotional outlet for her when dealing with the uncertainty of him having prostate cancer.

FL34223-DAR001Chrissy Atwater
Description:Chrissy Atwater is a quiltmaker from Florida, part of the Venice Area Quilt Guild and a smaller internal group called the Cut-Ups. She's been quilting for over 50 years and learned from her grandmother. Initially, she was apprehensive about quilting, but once she began she was obsessed. In this interview she talks about a bright, happy quilt she brought which started as a baby quilt but ended up being 102" by 102", because of a family superstition that baby quilts can only be used for the intended baby, and if the baby cannot receive the quilt it's a bad omen to give it to another baby.

She belongs to six guilds, most of them national and meeting only a few times a year.
